LifeWatch-WoRMS MolluscaBase Editor Workshop

During this workshop, the taxonomic editors of the Mollusca in WoRMS and the WoRMS Data Management Team (DMT) discussed the creation of MolluscaBase, a Global Species Database aimed at covering all marine, freshwater and terrestrial mollusks. Although the marine mollusk species list is nearing completion, a similar authoritative online resource for non-marine mollusks is lacking. This workshop aimed at involving the existing small-scale non-marine mollusk initiatives and develop common grounds for a future collaboration.
